i am not gay. i am, however, thin, single, and neat. sometimes if someone's thin, single, and neat, people assume they're gay. that's the stereotype. you normally don't think of gay people as fat, sloppy, and married. i'm sure there are. i don't want to perpetuate the stereotype. i'm sure they're a minority, though, within the gay community. probably discriminated against. because of that, people tell them, "joe, i enjoy being gay with you, "but it's time you got in shape, tucked your shirt in, and lost the wife." if it's assumed that neat people are gay, maybe instead of doing this-- "i think joe might be a little..." they should vacuum. "i think joe might be..." vroom.
